When you'd yell I would stay silent
           G              G
You never noticed I was quiet
        C                Cm                G   G
I was taught that speaking up was talking back
         C            Cm
Always first to say: I'm sorry
           G            G
'Cause I wanted you to like me
         C                   Cm              G   G
And I thought that's what it took to make it last
       C      Cm
It's a lose-lose
        G      G
That I don't choose
    C                Cm                  G
But you don't always choose the ones you love
 G
C                          Cm
 I shouldn't have to be the bigger person
G                           C
How come I have to break to keep us working?
     Cm                   G
It's always up to me even though it shouldn't be
     C                                 Cm
I'll take the blame the way you want me to
'Cause that's what I'd do for you

I was half of this dynamic
      G                 G
I was stable, you were manic
C                   Cm                 G  G
Without you or with you, comes with a cost
      C           Cm
I got used to the excuses
    G         G
And emotional abuses
   C               Cm                G   G
We kept moving the lines we'd never cross
       C      Cm
It's a lose-lose
        G      G
That I don't choose
    C                Cm                  G
But you don't always choose the ones you love

How come I have to break to keep us working?
     Cm                   G
It's always up to me even though it shouldn't be
     C                                  Cm
I'll take the blame the way you want me to
'Cause that's what I'd do for you
C                     Cm                        G
  I always think it's over, but it never really is
                       G                        C
'Cause I can't get the closure when you're like this
       Cm
Can we switch
C                             Cm
Maybe this time you'll be the bigger person
G                                   G
'Cause I'm getting tired of bearing all your burden
C                               Cm
It should be up to you, but you won't admit the truth
Ooh-ooh
C                          Cm
 I shouldn't have to be the bigger person
G                           C
How come I have to break to keep us working?
     Cm                   G
It's always up to me even though it shouldn't be
     C                                  Cm
I'll take the blame the way you want me to
'Cause that's what I'd do for you
